All trans youth seeking treatment must undergo five months of therapy that is “not in a gender affirming context.”…
released on Monday morning by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services spells out several new restriction on transgender youth in the state. The restrictions,passed by the Nebraska legislature this year, would curtail gender affirming care for those under the age of 19, the age of majority in the state.
Most troublesome, however, is a particular regulation on the mental healthcare of transgender youth. The document states that transgender youth must obtain 40 hours of therapy, with a maximum of two such hours per week, that is “not in a gender affirming context.” Read literally, this could involve forcing transgender youth to be misgendered and their old names used for months before obtaining care.
To ensure we stay out of the red by the end of the year, we have a long way to go. Our future is threatened.
